Paros is famous worldwide among the windsurfing funs due to the fact that PWA (Professional windsurfing association) has been organizing the world cup for several years at Chrissi Akti and Nea Chrissi Akti.

The location of the island, the north summer winds (meltemia) and the close distance from Naxos make the passage between Paros West coast and Naxos East coast ideal for surfing lovers.
